Monday Morning: November Bird Talk

by Scott Hall

Loons are still around. Harry Hutchins and his son, Tyler, heard some while deer hunting last week. This Monday morning, DNR wildlife biologist, Pam Perry, tells us more about them and Winter owls, and gives us a few bird feeding ideas going into winter.

At right is a picture of an Acorn Woodpecker sent by Sandy Roggencamp. It was posted on the MN Ornithological Union's web site after one was spotted last week in Crow Wing State Park south of Brainerd. It's two thousand miles away from where they are usually seen in the American Southwest and Mexico. Laura Erickson has more on the Acorn Woodpecker this Monday morning
